§ SIR W. LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, having regard to the difference between the percentage of higher grants in the Carlisle district as compared with that in the north western division as a whole, and to the allegation frequently made in the Carlisle district, that this is due to the abnormally high standard adopted by the local inspector, he will favourably consider the suggestion that the senior chief inspector should visit the Carlisle district, in order to secure greater uniformity in assessing the Government grants?
§ SIR J. GORSTThe chief inspector of the district has been directed to make inquiries into the matter.
